Karen is so furious, she accuses Denillo of not finding enough evidence & letting Doob go free again. However, she soon changes her mind when she learns that the Hispanic customer she tried to warn about Doob has been raped and murdered, in the same way Julie had been. Karen calls Sidney to tell him she cannot go through with it. The next day, Angel reveals that she is really an undercover FBI Agent investigating vigilante activity. Although Martin doubts Karen is capable of murder, Sidney gives her a gun. She also joins a self-defense class which helps her gain more confidence, helps rekindle her sex life with Mack and improves her relationship with Megan.
